Publication number: 20230077513Abstract: Self-identifying solid-state transducer (SST) modules and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. In several embodiments, for example, an SST system can include a driver and at least one SST module electrically coupled to the driver. Each SST module can include an SST and a sense resistor. The sense resistors of each SST module can have at least substantially similar resistance values. The SSTs of the SST modules can be coupled in parallel across an SST channel to the driver, and the sense resistors of the SST modules can be coupled in parallel across a sense channel to the driver. The driver can be configured to measure a sense resistance across the sense resistors and deliver a current across the SSTs based on the sense resistance.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2022Publication date: March 16, 2023Inventor: Steven A.

Publication number: 20230077515Abstract: In some embodiments, a knowledge graph generation system extracts noun-phrases from sentences of a knowledge corpora and determines the relations between the noun-phrases based on a relation classifier that is configured to predict a relation between a pair of entities without restricting the entities to a set of named entities. The knowledge graph generation system further generates a sub-graph for each of the sentences based on the noun-phrases and the determined relations. Nodes or entities of the sub-graph represent the non-phrases in the sentence and edges represent the relations between the noun-phrases connected by the respective edges. The knowledge graph generation system merges the sub-graphs to generate the knowledge graph for the knowledge corpora.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2022Publication date: March 16, 2023Inventors: Somak Aditya, Atanu Sinha

Publication number: 20230077516Abstract: In some implementations, an adverse environment detection system may receive an image of a road scene associated with a vehicle. The adverse environment detection system may determine a set of features associated with the image based on providing the image to an initial portion of a model. The adverse environment detection system may determine a first condition associated with the image based on providing the set of features to a first processing layer of the model, a second condition associated with the image based on providing the set of features to a second processing layer of the model, and a third condition associated with the image based on providing the set of features to a third processing layer of the model. The first processing layer, the second processing layer, and the third processing layer may process the set of features in parallel.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2021Publication date: March 16, 2023Applicant: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Tommaso BIANCONCINI, Leonardo SARTI, Leonardo TACCARI, Francesco SAMBO, Fabio SCHOEN, Enrico CIVITELLI, Simone MAGISTRI

Publication number: 20230077517Abstract: A non-volatile memory combines a hard bit and a soft bit read into a single, efficient soft sense sequence by using two sense per state level to improve read time efficiency. Rather than a standard hard bit read, where two soft bit reads are performed, offset above and below the hard bit read value, the hard bit read is shifted so that it reliable senses one state but less reliably senses the other state and soft bit data is only determined for the less reliably sensed state. This reduces the amount of soft bit data. The efficient soft sense sequence can be used as a default read mode, providing soft bit information for ECC correction without triggering a read error handling flow. Merging the soft bit and hard bit sense into one sequence can avoid extra overhead for read sequence operations.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2021Publication date: March 16, 2023Applicant: SanDisk Technologies LLCInventor: Hua-Ling Cynthia Hsu
